Moon Artist Trading Cards

Moons behind classic Roman figures, ATCs by Phillip Hoyle 2017

The trade and workshop last week was a delight. One artist prepared a CD of “Moon” music that played as we worked, and of course all of the recordings had the word Moon in the titles. We heard music from pop, rock, folk, and jazz genres. There were even some songs that asked for a sing-along.

Of course the conversations were a delight. It’s so good for artist to get together to work on their projects. The opening trade of “Moon” theme cards provided varieties of interpretations. Watching one another work stimulated conversation on techniques, products, ideas, and a lot of silliness. 

With ten people present the challenge was to create ten cards. The tenth one leaves one for the artist.

This week I began another project and last night cut a plate for printing. It’s not yet anything to see, but by next week I’ll give you a peek. I’m making Holiday greeting cards and feel like I’m a week ahead. Of course, that all depends on how the printing goes. That is always a bit unpredictable. I’m looking forward to several evenings printing and printing.
